This article explains with an example how to configure traffic-control-profiles to define scheduling for a forwarding class and how to apply scheduler maps to an interface when using ELS.

When using ELS, users may not find the scheduler-map option to apply a scheduler map to an interface:

root@hostname# set class-of-service interfaces xe-0/0/46 ?
Possible completions:
+ apply-groups         Groups from which to inherit configuration data
+ apply-groups-except  Don't inherit configuration data from these groups
> classifiers          Classifiers applied to incoming packets
  congestion-notification-profile  Congestion notification profile for the interface
> exclude-queue-overhead-bytes  Exclude the overhead bytes from the queue statistics
  forwarding-class     Forwarding class assigned to incoming packets
> forwarding-class-set  Map forwarding class sets to output traffic control profile
> logical-interface-aggregate-statistics  Logical interface aggregate queue statistics
> rewrite-rules        Rewrite rules applied to outgoing packets
> unit                 Logical interface unit (or wildcard)

root@hostname# set class-of-service interfaces xe-0/0/46

Example

#set class-of-service interface ge-* scheduler-map SCHEDULER-MAP-A

Therefore, when using ELS platforms, users must configure traffic-control-profiles and apply the following command.

set class-of-service interfaces xe-*  forwarding-class-set <name> output-traffic-control-profile <name>

Note: Make sure that the strict high and low priorities are all not mixed in one scheduler map; users will not be allowed to mix strict high and low priorities when applying the scheduler-map and forwarding-class-set to the interface.

Topology

Switch-1-----------xe-0/0/46-----------------xe-0/0/46--------------Switch-2 

The following configuration is applied in Switch-1 and explains only the traffic-control-profile configuration and how to apply it to the interface.

We have four classes:

• >VOICE queue 3

• >VIDEO queue 4

• >data-1 queue 1

• >data-2  queue 2

1. Configure forwarding-classes .

set class-of-service forwarding-classes class VOICE queue-num 3
set class-of-service forwarding-classes class VIDEO queue-num 4
set class-of-service forwarding-classes class data-1 queue-num 1
set class-of-service forwarding-classes class data-2 queue-num 2

2. Configure schedulers .

set class-of-service schedulers VOICE shaping-rate percent 100
set class-of-service schedulers VOICE buffer-size percent 40
set class-of-service schedulers VOICE priority strict-high
set class-of-service schedulers VIDEO buffer-size percent 30
set class-of-service schedulers VIDEO priority strict-high
set class-of-service schedulers data-1 transmit-rate percent 20
set class-of-service schedulers data-1 buffer-size percent 20
set class-of-service schedulers data-1 priority low
set class-of-service schedulers data-2 transmit-rate percent 10
set class-of-service schedulers data-2 buffer-size percent 10
set class-of-service schedulers data-2 priority low

Note: Remember that transmit rate is not allowed when priority is set to strict high.

root@hostname# set class-of-service schedulers VOICE transmit-rate percent 90

{master:0}[edit]
root@hostname# commit
error: Transmit-rate is being configured on a strict-priority scheduler :VOICE which is not allowed

3. Configure scheduler maps for priority low and priority high. In this case, VOICE and VIDEO are strict high so they must have their own scheduler-map. Strict high and low priorities cannot be combined when traffic-control-profile is used to apply scheduler maps.

set class-of-service scheduler-maps MAP forwarding-class data-1 scheduler data-1 
set class-of-service scheduler-maps MAP forwarding-class data-2 scheduler data-2 
set class-of-service scheduler-maps MAP-High forwarding-class VOICE scheduler VOICE
set class-of-service scheduler-maps MAP-High forwarding-class VIDEO scheduler VIDEO

4. (Optional) This configuration can be used when using rewrite rules.

set class-of-service rewrite-rules dscp REWRITE forwarding-class VOICE loss-priority low code-point af11
set class-of-service rewrite-rules dscp REWRITE forwarding-class VIDEO loss-priority low code-point ef
set class-of-service rewrite-rules dscp REWRITE forwarding-class data-1 loss-priority high code-point be
set class-of-service rewrite-rules dscp REWRITE forwarding-class data-2 loss-priority low code-point be

5. Configure traffic-control-profiles .

set class-of-service traffic-control-profiles MAP-TEST scheduler-map MAP <<< MAP. This is for low priority. 
set class-of-service traffic-control-profiles MAP-TEST-High scheduler-map MAP-High <<<  MAP-High. This is for strict high priority. 

6. Configure forwarding-class-set .

set class-of-service forwarding-class-sets F-SET class data-1 <<< F-SET  this is for low priority. 
set class-of-service forwarding-class-sets F-SET class data-2
set class-of-service forwarding-class-sets F-SET-High class VOICE <<F-SET-High: This is for strict high priority.</span>
set class-of-service forwarding-class-sets F-SET-High class VIDEO

7. Apply the traffic-control-profiles to the egress interface that is facing Switch-2.

set class-of-service interfaces xe-0/0/46 forwarding-class-set F-SET output-traffic-control-profile MAP-TEST
set class-of-service interfaces xe-0/0/46 forwarding-class-set F-SET-High output-traffic-control-profile MAP-TEST-High
